In November Bloodhound achieved 1,010km/h at Hakskeen Pan in a high-speed test.The world land speed record project undertaken by British team Bloodhound has been put on ice due to Covid-19.
This means the bid to beat the world land speed record will most likely take place in 2022 and not next year as planned. “As a result, we are planning to go into hibernation to reduce the monthly overheads to an absolute minimum, and we’ll reboot conversations with potential sponsors later in the year.”
In November Bloodhound LSR, with Andy Green behind the wheel, achieved 1,010km/h at Hakskeen Pan in the Northern Cape in a high-speed test. It was the equivalent of taking just 1 hour and 23 minutes to drive the 1,400km from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
